General chatter while we wait (and commentary on the "pull out method")

[ladyoflocksle]

Well it is official, I have Type A flu I didn't get a prescription for Tamiflu. The Dr. I saw said she didn't think it was worth the price. She said I can just keep using my over the counter meds.

I hope nobody else gets this, I forgot just how miserable that it can be!!

Sorry you have Flu Lady, big hugs hun x

 

[Cppeace]

The flu always stinks! Get better soon!

 

[pacificlove]

The flue sucks, had that once a few years ago. Same with mastitis... Ugh! Feel better soon!!

CB, yeah L climbing over us was bad enough and we thought these might be the last night's. I usually caught him if he went too far. One night he aimed for hubby and he caught him as he went over the edge. His forehead hit the frame of our bed! I pretty much slept through it, but woke up and asked "why does L have a bruise on his forehead?". That was the last night he spent with us. I missed him in bed the first few nights, but it's also been nice to touch my husband at night again.

 

[claireybell]

Thats what i missed aswell, rolling over & cuddling & putting my arms over SO & waking up in the morning & being able to have some ‘special cuddles’

 

[claireybell]

So miserable. And I stupidly took pepto not thinking to check if it’s ok while bfing. It’s not. Pretty sure I had s fever cuz I stripped off my clothes since I was sweating and it’s 45 degrees in my room. Everything hurts.

Ex did not show to his 6 month appointment. He’s still 20th for weight and 11th for height. 16lbs 2.4oz and 24.75”. We have a consult for helmet because his head is still quite flat . Got his vaccines, a flu shot, and poor kid had to get an allergy test so blood draw but he’s a champ. I bought him a new toy cuz he is such a good kiddo

 

[claireybell]

Sorry your feeling poorly Dobby.. if the Pepto was just a one-off amt im sure it’ll be ok, do you have breastmilk supply in fridge/freezer that you can use for his next feed? You xan always pump off your next one & tip it away incase there maybe anything in it :-/

My friends lil boy is just 7 months & only now his cone/flatish looking head is starting to curve back to normal.. he was referred aswell. Is it very slight helmet head? Bless his lil chops

Im guessing the ex knew about his apt aswell.. he didnt let you know no?

 

[claireybell]

CB- omg can’t believe ur pregnant again congrats to my fellow Southern Lady x welcome to the club of total surprise babies!

Beea - yay another bump buddy! Congrats! Xx

Wooks - omg mastitis! I’ve BF all 3 of my children and only ever had it once and never forgot it! With the fever and rock hard hot itchy boobe, I feel ur pain! So glad you got antibiotics , they helped mine very quickly xx

Sorry I havent spoken much, life’s been hard coming to terms with this pregnancy and I feel terrible saying that I’ve alwags thought of every baby as a miracle (it wasn’t the baby it was me, and my mental health and worrying how I’d cope I want all my children to have the best mum they can have) I’m slowly picking myself up and feeling abit stronger, hoping to feel abit better each day! X

Keeps omg i completely missed this! Congrats on no4 my lovely!
You can totally do it

 

[DobbyForever]

Yeah he knew. I told him a week ago. The mediator told him to make sure his ass is there. I called him when they called us back and 20m later he texts stuck in traffic which is bullshit. 1. You knew when the appointment was you could have left earlier. 2. You have a motorcycle. 3. Stfu we were there from 4-5:45 so traffic or not you could have showed your face.

Yeah the only thing I found online was avoid bfing for four hours after a single dose so I dumped last night’s pump and i’m think this pump is 14 hours later so I should be fine but my pump isn’t working as well anymore =\

 

[claireybell]

Is it a manual Pump? Its the same rule for Alcohol & bf aswell i think..

If he has a Motorcycle theres no excuse really as we all know Motorcyclists filter through the traffic when its really busy! I feel your frustration hun! He should of left in more than enough time if hes trying to blame traffic.

 

[DobbyForever]

I just doubt he ever left. Probably forgot or never intended to show but I can’t prove when he left if he says traffic. Whatever over it

Yeah I have a medala symphony. I just noticed lately it’s not pumping as well some wear and tear on the parts/idk. But it hisses and just isn’t getting as much out and what not Idk i’m Tired and have a date with the toilet for the fourth time in an hour

 

[claireybell]

Feel better soon hunni

 

[gigglebox]

Keeps glad to see you back and feeling a bit more optimistic about things. When is your next ultrasound?

Cb did you tell hubby yet?

Cpp did you test? Af come on? I may have missed an update. Y'all are chatty

Dobs hope you feel better. Bugs are no fun did you decide on jewelry? I'm trying to get something new myself. Something loosely related to the kiddos in necklace form. And sparkley

Wooks ewww mastitis! Hope you continue healing and feel well enough to get back to work.

 

[claireybell]

Gigs hey :wave: how are the boys? Does Des dote on his younger bro

I had plans to tell him this evening but after i finished putting Nuala to bed, he went to shop then came back with some beers & his friend.. ffs! Kinda annoyed me but i dont wanna put a sour on his evening Lol

 

[Cppeace]

Well, the temp fell, the next day I was spotting a light flow started today. So ws no need for testing at any point there.

 

[Jezika]

Sorry CP

CB, Breea and Keeps - weren’t you all pregnant at the same time in 2016 too? Congrats all around!

I see a lot of people on this thread are sick. Hope y’all feel better soon. Tilly’s had a cold raging for two weeks now and is still snotty and coughing. Feel like it’ll never end.

Dobs - I agree on the bottom ring being nicest too. Good choice! Re: bedsharing, you know where I stand lol, but I agree with the others that you shouldn’t worry about what anyone else is doing and that if it works for you, it works for you. If it stops working, address it then. And also that there are pros and cons of any sleep arrangement. Luckily Tilly is still fine sleeping with me. I always wake up when she wakes up in the morning (I still don’t know how I do that... must be a sixth sense). We all sleep pretty well that way. Tbh I spent a long time at the start worrying about the same things (safety and wondering when will she leave the bed?!) but I’ve accepted it now as a positive thing for us and am happy to go for as long as she’s happy. Meeting other people who bedshare with toddlers is also quite validating. I just love the snuggles and get the same feeling as you re: being her protector. If you ever have a chance to look into the history of babies sleeping in their own rooms, it’s quite interesting (and a recent phenomenon).

 

[Jezika]

Oh I also wanted to say that it’s crazy how I had JUST read a post on Facebook from a fellow December baby momma who I met on BnB about her shock BFP, then I come on here and BAM - Breea and CB!

 

[gigglebox]

Well speaking of sleeping...Lev has officially put the end to cosleeping. He won't sleep in his bed, rather grabs the side, pulls himself up onto his knees and rocks the whole thing back and forth whilst giggling. Officially in his crib now
